Assume I have loaded a big image.

Now I inserted (from clipboard) another, smaller image by pressing CTRL+V
It is inserted.

However it is not moveable.
How do I tell Krita to automatically, always mark a just inserted image as selection?
...and move it around on base image?

Of course it's movable: it's inserted as a new layer and those are movable. If you want, you can enable the "activate transform tool after pasting" in the Tools tab of the General setttings page in Krita's settings.

Ok, meanwhile I found the key information:
I have to activate the "Move" tool.

But how do I merge all open layers?

Simply activate transform tool after pasting is not useful.

I want to paste an image, then move it and finally merge it.
How can I achieve the last step?

a) yes, the transform tool is useful, because you can simply also simply move with it -- and often after pasting, people want to resize the paste, so, yes, activating the transform tool is extremely useful.
b) you... merge it . The shortcut is ctrl-e, cmd-e on macOS, of course, same as in Photoshop and other applications.

Ok, thank you.

That means the transform tool is intended for resizing the pasted selected picture?
I tried it. But no matter if I enabled "activate transform tool" checkbox or not I have to click on toolbar symbol "Transform a layer or a selection Ctrl+T"
to resize it. there is no auto-enabling.

So what is the advantage of activation transform tool?

Is there an "auto-activate Move Tool" after pasting?

You wrote Ctrl+E to merge Layers. Is there a toolbar symbol or menu for that too or only hotkey?
